To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
All is calm in my world… What promotes a feeling of calm for you?
Published July 13, 2010 | 
As we end the day and begin to unwind, it is nice to do things or think about things that give us that peaceful, calm feeling. That is an ideal state to be in before bed. What are things that make you feel calm?
For example, here are ten things that promote a feeling of calm for me:
- When I let the worries and concerns of the day go.
- I enjoy a glass of wine and lovely meal with my family.
- I reflect on what went right today.
- Knowing I make a difference.
- Loving others and knowing I am loved too.
- Listening to wonderful jazz, blues, Hawaiian, adult alternative, classical, or easy listening music while I am cooking.
- Petting my cat, Mew.
- Hugging my loved ones.
- Looking at beautiful photography and art work.
- Reading

What is your joy?
What puts a smile on your face? A spring in your step? What makes the time fly for you?
Life is just too short to not let more joy come into our lives. When we are joyful, our joy does spread to others…
Some ideas:
- Smile!
- Do something today that is just fun!
- Do something today that is messy.
- Get outside
- Spend time with people you adore.
- Play a game you haven’t played since you were a child
- Throw the football or basketball around.
- Go out for ice cream
- Laugh
- Try a fun new cocktail or mocktail tonight
Your turn…
Cheers!

Bless what you want: applying the ancient Polynesian Wisdom of Huna for a good night sleep
Published June 3, 2010 | 
What we focus on is what we get in life.
What we put out there we attract and manifest in our lives.
What we appreciate appreciates.
What we bless comes into our life.
I grew up in Hawaii. An ancient Hawaiian philosopy, Huna, teaches that what we bless we bring into our lives.
For peace of mind and restful sleep, try this:
1. Bless anything you see that is asleep (a partner, a pet, a stranger snoozing on your bus, commuter train, airport gate, or airplane)
2. Bless anything that appears to be peaceful to you: another person, child, baby, animal, the sky, trees, ocean, a garden, etc.
3. If you hear music that is relaxing or peaceful to you, bless it.
4. If you see in a person’s smile peace and serenity, bless that person and his or her magnificent smile.
5. If you read or hear words that bring you peace today, bless the source of those words.
6. If your bed and linens and pillows and blankets bring you comfort, bless them.
7. If your bedroom soothes you, bless it.
8. If there is a fragrance from your herbal garden, your cooking, your home, the cologne you or someone else is wearing, the candle(s) you are burning, your bubble bath, the massage oil you and your partner are using, the flowers in your home, the fur of your beloved cat, the smell of a baby, child, loved one- any smell that gives you a feeling of love, peace, joy, and serenity- bless it!
9. If there is a food or beverage that is nurturing and calming your body, spirit, and soul with its warmth and good nutrition, bless it.
10. If there are people in your life that support you and give you peace, bless them.
11. when you are watching a tv show or movie and there is a character snoozing away, bless them
12. Whenever you catch someone yawning, bless them.
13. Whever you feel a calming breeze on your body when outdoors, bless it.
14. Whenever you feel the warmth of the sun and it feels so good and relaxing, bless it.
15. Whenever you think of memories that give you a feeling of peace, bless them.
16. Recall times in your life when you slept very well at night, and bless them.
17. If there are particular sounds you hear that relax you and make you sleepy such as frogs or crickets at night, the white noise of an air conditioning fan, etc., bless these sounds that give you peace.
18. Are there particular colors that soothe you? Bless those colors…
Bless you, dear Warm Milk Journal reader….
Goodnight
